• properties

security_rules

The security_rules property contains the set of Security Rules.

its('security_rules') { should_not be_empty }

default_security_rules

The default_security_rules property contains the set of Default Security Rules.

its('default_security_rules') { should_not be_empty }

allow_ssh_from_internet

The allow_ssh_from_internet property contains a boolean value determined by analyzing the Security Rules and Default Security Rules for unrestricted SSH access.

it { should_not allow_ssh_from_internet }

allow_rdp_from_internet

The allow_rdp_from_internet property contains a boolean value determined by analyzing the Security Rules and Default Security Rules for unrestricted RDP access.

it { should_not allow_rdp_from_internet }

Other Attributes

There are additional attributes that may be accessed that we have not documented. Please take a look at the Azure documentation. Any attribute in the response may be accessed with the key names separated by dots (.).

The API may not always return keys that do not have any associated data. There may be cases where the deeply nested property may not have the desired attribute along your call chain. If you find yourself writing tests against properties that may be nil, fork this resource pack and add an accessor to the resource. Within that accessor you’ll be able to guard against nil keys. Pull requests are always welcome.

Matchers

This InSpec audit resource has the following special matchers. For a full list of available matchers, please visit our Universal Matchers page.

exists

The control will pass if the resource returns a result. Use should_not if you expect zero matches.

# If we expect 'GroupName' to always exist
describe azurerm_network_security_group(resource_group: 'example', name: 'GroupName') do
  it { should exist }
end

# If we expect 'EmptyGroupName' to never exist
describe azurerm_network_security_group(resource_group: 'example', name: 'EmptyGroupName') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

Azure Permissions
